I need some love today....

Today was my baby's first day of kindergarten, and somehow my son is in 2nd grade (but I can't figure out how that happened).

Does this look like a girl who's ready to take on the world or what? It does make it a bit easier to let her go, since she marched herself right in. She was so excited. My son.... not so much. He's much more shy, and it'll take him a bit longer to settle into the new school....

*sigh* My heart is just breaking today.

Awwwww! She's adorable!!


My youngest starts kindergarten this month as well. And my middle child has his first day of middle school....and my oldest will have her first day of high school. Like you, I'm utterly mystified at how all this came about!

Plan something nice for yourself this week. A manicure and pedicure at a nice spa or something! Indulge a bit in totally caring for Christie, which is such a rare thing we moms need to remember to do once in a while.

Poor Christie!

[MeMe]

awwe Christie!

She is a doll!

but I do know how you feel.

the first day of Kindergarten is always hard.

I still...get choked up when my kids go off for their first day.

and my oldest two are in H.S. and Cait will be in 4th grade!

I just love to have them home with me.



btw...you guys start school early!

we don't go till Sept 4th.

awww! they are so excited and full on hope!

I'm sure its tuff!!! I'm not looking forward to sending my future kids to their first day of school....

BIG HUG!!!!!!

It's okay... we're supposed to feel this way on the first day of seperation from our children. I still can't believe that I have a child that is going into the 5th grade. :eek: So cry your tears, sulk for a bit, but then hold your head up high with pride.. if she is confident to go without looking back, your doing a good job in helping her become a strong confident women prepared for everything that life can throw her way.

I didn't realize our babies are starting kindergarten together ... so to speak. I know you'll understand why I'm sitting at this keyboard staring and tearing up.

I have my mom and two sisters visiting currently, and my other sister and her kids be will be here tomorrow. So I'll be a bit swamped by all the family, but I've got Daytona to look forward to...

I feel so silly just being at such a loss. UGH!

In a couple of weeks, I'll probably be posting the exact same thing.

Judy's right...you should give yourself a few hours of NOTHING....those are the best.

Thanks Raj! You don't know how much I need the hugs today. It's pitiful....

My daughter is such a little sweetheart, MeMe. We start early in the south... I don't know why but we do. Thank you for commiserating with me. It makes me feel a bit better to know that I'm not alone feeling this way.

Thanks Justin. Enjoy your children while you can. They grow up so FREAKIN fast!!

Thank you for the kind words LadyDragon(I can't remember your name ... sorry). They really warmed my heart, and I appreciate them more than I can say.

Judy, I'll be here when you need the hugs!

I think you guys are right. I think I may go relax and do some yoga. I think that will help me relax a bit. Otherwise I'm just going to sit here and stare at the computer screen.

Good gravy it's weird not having them in the house!!! It's too quite ... and lonely.
